For the record, I am writing this review voluntarily. Anything I write has not been exaggerated to…read moreany extent or coerced by any means. The Notary Seal has proven to be a highly professional and qualified notary and apostille service that delivers on everything they claim to be. Their website makes the claim that they offer the "#1 Certified and Reliable Notary services in Fredericksburg, VA and Nationwide" (https://thenotaryseal.com/). Furthermore, they state on their website that, "[w]e provide professional notary services to ensure your documents are legally verified and properly executed" (https://thenotaryseal.com/). My experience with them recently tells me that they are trustworthy, offering high quality services where no other business is able to.
Back in September of 2025, my fiancé and I had set our wedding date for December 26, 2025. In order to get married, I was required to provide two apostilled documents: (1) No Record of Marriage Certificate and a (2) No Record Certificate from New York State. These documents arrive to the Department of State on October 4th. I made an online inquiry as to their status on 11/14/25. To this date, more than two months later from the date these documents arrived, I have neither received them back, nor heard back concerning their status.
When I thought I had done all I could to get my documents apostilled, I gave up, and started accepting what I thought was only reasonable to accept-- that I would not get married on December 26th. But my fiancé encouraged me to try to find another way to get these documents. All this time, I had been avoiding going through an apostille agency for economic reasons. I called a local apostille business to get estimates for an expedited apostille process. The UPS Store and another agency that provides services to New York City both quoted me for at least a 2-3 week wait at a high cost. The business in NYC told me that because I was not a local, they could not provide me with an expedited 2-3 day service, as their website boldly stated with no qualifications.
On 12/04/25, I called The Notary Seal. I first spoke with a kind female rep who had me fill out a quick form to get an estimate. That evening the CEO called me to understand my situation better. I explained everything to him over the phone. I told him that I was on a budget but needed their services. He told me that their was a way to get the apostilles I needed in time for my deadline (13-15 days before the wedding-- when the docs were supposed to reach their international address). He offered me an excellent discount, and provided a pricing estimate the next morning. He explained that if we acted fast, it was possible for the documents to reach their destination by Thursday 12/11/25 (today). Because he was not aware that I was sending them to a foreign address, he estimated their arrival for 12/11. Regardless, they arrived to their final "FedEx destination facility" as of this morning.
Suffice it to say, The Notary Seal has more than delivered on their promises. My documents were supposed to arrive to my home today, but instead, they arrived to their final destination by the originally estimated date. The Notary Seal comes highly recommended by me. If you have need for quick, efficient, and comprehensively amazing services; if you prefer personable, understanding service representatives; if you find yourself in the same position as I was in, I have the confidence that The Notary Seal can work with you to get you what you need, and in a timely manner.
